Anyhoo, I thought I felt something akin to drowsiness, so I went to bed, where promptly I found myself wide awake. After a while Ben stirred so I told him what happened, and he laughed claiming I'm like a baby! Oh well. Perhaps. He went promptly back to sleep and I about half an hour later.
I've been working on the Sketchbook Project sketchbook. I think in the Mixed Media/Art Journal speak, I've done most of the backgrounds, but it's pretty intense; as with writing and drawing, I never know when is the right time to stop and when I need to work more. I didn't like what I did last year I don't even have one photo from it, and can't remember what I did. Of the choices of themes this year:
- Strange Neighbors
- Borders and lines
- A simple place
- Accidents
- Found!
- Dudes and latitudes
- To the last page!
- First aid kit
- Say words out loud
- Paper airplanes
- This list...
- Atlas of...
- Greetings from…
- 32 Days
- This is not about you
- This is not about me
- Undecided
Ah, the sample. It's still wet, being just out of a spinning cycle, so the colors are not accurate and in the photo I can't see the orange and pink halves too well. But here's the thing: I'm not crazy about the pink being lighter in value than the other three, and while working under florescent lights I didn't want to call too much attention to the difference in values of the two halves, but more hint at it. The right value for the weft has been my main concern, and the draft needs further fine-tuning, but I'm looking forward to the sample drying.

Oh, no! The pink side looks far more interesting in the evenings under halogen lights!
ReplyDeleteI adore that collage!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's one of the two pages that have worked well so far, Connie. Much MUCH more to do!
